That's not how it works though, each person has their individual portal gun. So there's two sets of portals.

Needs to be seriously monitored. If someone is being a ♥♥♥♥♥♥, you can report them. If someone is reported enough, they can be temporarily suspended from the game. If they keep being a ♥♥♥♥♥♥, they can be banned.

According to some info I read today both people will be in control of 2 portals and although you still need to work together its not going to be as bad as I 1st thought with people griefing.

Just incase people want to read it for themselves ( it probably has been posted already somewhere ) look here....

I don't think it would work well unless you caught them off guard since, you know, a person can normally see where the portal exits to.

DarkBucket

03-08-2010, 12:03 AM

I still think it's gonna be that player 1 has blue portals, player 2 has orange, and prop damage is off. But when the other person dies, they go into spectating and the surviving player can pick up their portalgun, they also can't portal each other. When both die, map restart maybe?

Chances are, because the co-op version has you playing two androids, they'd be immune to fire, deadly water...etc...etc.

I expect Valve have thought this through and left the death traps for single player only.

You can still be annoying, though, by messing up their jumps and stuff, I imagine.

Since when do robots have free-will, the sense to use portals strategically, and generally think for themselves?
I'm not really one to question what these robots can do in a game like this.

The robot's probably consist with a personality core. Thatway they can think for themselfs.
As for the portal gun, that ain't to hard sisnce GLaDOS knew exectly how it worked. We can assume these robot's know to.
It's just the jumping that I can't comprehand that well.

It's a science fiction game, try not to comprehend it, it'll make your brain hurt.
These two robot androids or whatever you want to call them are already very different to GlaDOS in the fact that they can move about for themselves, so jumping isn't completely out of their capability I would think.

Besides, a lot of sci-fi androids in movies/games, etc have been able to jump, climb, etc.

Really dude? We're discussion a game in which you carry around a portable inter-dimensional portal launcher and you guys want to wax philosophic over the physical limitations of a freakin' robot jump?:confused:

Money on the 'personality cores' being part of new/old GLaDOS.

lolwut Karoshi is fun, but u dont need portals if the objective is to die.

also Lakail - there are two things which the red guy can use to help himself
1) you can see everyone's portals even through walls (check coop gameplay videos)
2) your portals can cancel out the other players portals, so you can place a portal on the other portal to prevent death

nrnoble

11-06-2010, 01:54 PM

Someone who intentionally wants to ruin a MP game for a specific person or everyone. How a greifer goes about it depends on the game. Some will go as far as stalking another player for days at a time and specifically do everything possible ruin the game.
